GRITS, The Trailer Park Cousin to POLENTA is making a COMEBACK!!

Yes, It's true,   Polenta seen here is the "blue blooded" version of the GRIT. Over the decades, Polenta has gained an elan' that has tried to put it into a class of its own.... but like the Hilton family trying to disown Paris, Polenta has long tried to distance itself from its often loved by the South cousin, GRITS....sometimes referred to as THE GRIT.   Being a "blue collar" grade of meal, the GRIT has often been overlooked by the high end dining establishments around the US.... But, what is old becomes 'new' again, GRITS are making a resurgence. And like a little sister copying the fashion of an elder sibling, GRITS is often being used as a direct replacement for Polenta served as a high end meal with the right accoutrement.....
